  • Why Strategy Alone Won't Make You Successful

    Becky and Laura dive into the real reason why a perfect business strategy isn’t enough to guarantee success. They unpack the pressures of social media, the myths of overnight success, and the importance of connecting with yourself, your energy, and your “why.”

    From mindset blocks to burnout, they explore how showing up as yourself and not a version shaped by trends, labels, or others’ expectations is the real key to growing a business that aligns with your life and values.

    They also share simple, actionable ways to reconnect with your purpose, take care of your energy, and stop being a prisoner of your own strategy.

    Whether you’re a solopreneur, a creative, or a business owner, this episode is a wake-up call: success isn’t about following someone else’s blueprint, it’s about knowing yourself and showing up consistently in your own way.

    Special Announcements:

    • Becky is offering a one-off breakthrough coaching session to tackle the single thing holding you back in your business.

    • Laura has launched Your Nature, a 14-day daily check-in to bring calm, clarity, and focus into your day.

    • A perfect strategy means nothing if your mindset isn’t aligned.

    • Overnight success stories are almost always years in the making - don’t be fooled.

    • Success comes from showing up as yourself, not a version shaped by social media trends or expectations.

    • Burnout often happens when your business isn’t aligned with your values or who you really are.

    • External motivation is easier to stick to than internal goals make your work meaningful to you.

    • Physical and emotional blocks can stop you from implementing strategies; listen to your body as well as your mind.

    • Simplicity and consistency beat flashy “bells and whistles” every time.

  • Making Your Why Bigger Than You

    After a longer-than-planned break, we’re back - refreshed, reflective, and ready to share what’s been happening behind the scenes. In this honest, real-life catch-up, we talk about:

    • How taking a break gave us the clarity we didn’t know we needed
    • Why we find it easy to meet everyone else’s deadlines but struggle to honour our own
    • The power of making your goals bigger than you - and how that changes everything
    • Learning to strip things back, simplify, and reconnect with what truly matters
    • That gut-punch reminder: “The scariest place to be is the same place as last year.”

    From stepping outside our comfort zones to rediscovering our “why,” this episode is a reminder that growth often starts when you stop trying to do more - and instead start doing what’s right.

    Listen in for practical reflections, a few laughs, and some honest truths about motivation, mindset, and finding direction in both business and life.

  • 3 Quotes That Changed How I Show Up Every Day

    This week Becky shares three powerful quotes that have helped her reframe how she approaches everyday life and business. These aren’t just motivational soundbites - they’ve genuinely shifted her habits, mindset and decision-making.

    Through personal stories and honest reflections, we explore how small daily actions reflect who we are becoming and how we can all make better choices from a place of purpose, not pressure. With personal stories, mindset shifts, and a little wisdom from a listener, this episode will leave you thinking: What would successful me do right now?

    You’ll hear about:

    • The hidden power of pausing before you react

    • Everyday actions that either align with or derail your goals

    • Why ignoring red flags in business (and life) always comes back to bite

    • How to spot when you're operating from scarcity vs. self-belief

    • Seeing life’s challenges as tests from the universe

    • Making peace with turning things down — even money — if they’re not aligned

    Plus:
    The one question that can change how you show up every single day.

    👉 “Who do I want to be — and is this decision taking me there?”

    More Standout Moments:

    • “Everything we’re doing is for a bigger purpose — not just for instant gratification.”

    • “Sometimes we’re not just staying stuck… we’re actively moving further away from where we want to be.”

    • “Am I being tested? Is this a test to see how I’ll respond to what I say I want?”

    • “Scarcity isn’t just about money — it can come from being tired, hungry, or emotionally off.”

  • Sunshine, Seasons and Self-Awareness: What have these got to do with running a business?

    In this uplifting episode, we dive into how the changing seasons - especially the arrival of longer, lighter days - can dramatically shift how we feel, work and show up in our businesses.

    From the physical effects of sunshine to the mental weight of darker months, we explore how our natural energy patterns are deeply tied to the world around us — and why it’s so important to honour those cycles rather than push against them.

    This is a real, honest chat about:

    • Feeling re-energised after the gloom of winter

    • Knowing when to rest vs. when to ride a wave of momentum

    • Creating space to work your way without guilt

    • And how choosing ease over hustle doesn’t mean choosing less success

  • Human Design: A Help or Hindrance in Business?

    In this candid conversation, we dive into our personal journeys with Human Design — from first discoveries to going way down the rabbit hole! We reflect on how Human Design can offer powerful self-awareness and understanding in both business and personal life, but also how easy it is to get caught up, distracted and even stuck by it.
    We touch on aspects of our own energy types (Generator and Projector), discuss how understanding Human Design helps us in relationships with partners and children, and why detachment is the key to using these tools wisely.

    In this episode:

    • Using Human Design as a tool — not a rigid rulebook

    • Recognizing when it's helping vs. when it's holding you back

    • Personal growth and self-compassion through understanding your design

    • How Human Design can support (not strain) relationships

    • The importance of grounding yourself and regularly checking in

    • Letting go of labels, attachments, and over-complicating your self-discovery

    Invitation to you, the listener:
    Tell us about your Human Design journey! What type are you? Has it helped you or frustrated you? We'd love to hear your story — reach out and connect with us either in the comments, or on Instagram @youdontneedfixing, @theperfecttimeisnowhq (Becky) @laura.soulcoach (Laura).

  • When Hard Work Isn't Enough: The Power of Pause, Reflection and Flow

    Are you feeling stuck in your business, wondering why your hard work isn't paying off the way you'd hoped? You’re not alone — many female entrepreneurs experience this frustration and the answer often lies in the energy behind your actions, not just the strategy itself.

    In this episode, we dive into the internal blocks that hold us back from stepping into our full potential. Whether it's self-doubt, overwhelm, or feeling like there’s got to be an easier way, we're here to remind you that the power to shift your business and life is already within you.

    Episode Highlights:

    The Balance Between Certainty and Flow
    Discussion about how in some areas we seek full understanding before action, and in others, we surrender and trust more naturally.

    Blind Spots and Coaching Support
    How a coach or community can help you see what you can't see yourself and get unstuck faster.

    The Importance of Reflection

    The priceless value of experience — learning from others' mistakes so you don’t have to make them all yourself.

    Creating Space for Magic
    Balancing masculine doing energy with feminine being energy — making space for flow and clarity.

  • Success On Your Terms

    What does success really mean to you?

    In this episode, we dig deep into the idea of success—moving beyond the numbers, the job titles, and the highlight reels. We talk about how success isn’t always about the car, the bank account, or ticking boxes others have set for us. Instead, it's about how we feel—confidence, energy, joy, freedom, connection.

    Becky and I share personal stories about when we've actually felt successful, and spoiler alert: it had nothing to do with money. We explore internal validation vs. external pressure, the energy behind what we're doing, and why it's so important to create a life that feels aligned, not just impressive.

    We also talk about:

    • The power of being around the right people

    • Letting go of “shoulds”

    • What really fuels confidence and momentum

    • How to stop wasting energy comparing yourself to others

    Whether you're a solopreneur, creative, coach unsure of what success even means anymore, or just someone navigating the ups and downs of life - this one is for you.

    This is your reminder that you get to define success, and it's okay if it looks different from everyone else’s.

    If this resonates, or not, we want to hear from you :)

  • Stop Playing Small: Bold Moves, Confidence & Reinvention at Any Age

    Laura and Becky dive into the topic of making bold moves, stepping out of comfort zones, and challenging self-imposed limits. Laura reflects on the upcoming milestone of turning 50 and how it has sparked a fresh sense of urgency to take on bigger challenges. Together, they explore the internal struggles we all face as we navigate fear, overthinking, and the pull between responsibility and freedom.

    Whether it’s setting big goals, conquering self-doubt, or learning to trust yourself again, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t need to wait for permission to live boldly.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Embrace the Bold: Sometimes, it takes a big, audacious leap (like signing up for a Sahara trek) to get out of your own way. Laura and Becky share personal experiences of stepping outside their comfort zones and reigniting their sense of purpose.

    • The Pressure of Age and Expectations: Laura opens up about turning 50 and the urgency it’s brought. They discuss evolving life and business goals, and why age shouldn’t define your pace of growth.

    • Overcoming Self-Doubt: They touch on the challenge of starting new ventures and the difficulty of transferring confidence from past successes into new arenas.

    • Breaking Free from Playing Small: From visualising your boldest self to pushing through fear, they share why stepping up—even imperfectly—is the key to real change.

    Practical Tips for Stepping Into Action:

    • Reflect on past achievements and the courage it took.

    • Visualise your confident, bold self and tap into that energy.

    • Stop overthinking and take the next small step forward.

    • Celebrate small wins on the path to bigger goals.
